FVWM: Help with Fvwm and perfmeter.

I'd be grateful if someone out there could help me with a little niggle
I have with FvwmButtons and fvwm 2.0.45.

my setup at the moment is as follows :

*FvwmButtonsFore Black
*FvwmButtonsBack lightgrey
**FvwmButtonsFont -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*FvwmButtonsGeometry 720x76-2-2
*FvwmButtonsRows 1

*FvwmButtons(Swallow coolmail 'Exec coolmail -e "" -f /var/mail/lwillis -geometry 76x76-100-100 -int 20 -fr 60 &')
*FvwmButtons(Swallow xclock 'Exec xclock -fg black -bg lightgrey -hd red -hl red -geometry -1000-1000 &')
*FvwmButtons(3x1, Swallow perfmeter 'Exec perfmeter -g -S -H -geometry +1048+0 -bg lightgrey -fg #660066 &')
*FvwmButtons(3x1, Swallow xdaliclock 'Exec xdaliclock -12 -nocycle -noseconds -bg lightgrey -fg black -geometry 280x80+0+0 &')

Everything works fine except that when I first start up the performance
meter doesn't appear and the button is pressed in (All the others are
up!)
It's not a problem with the path as I've tried including the absolute
path name in the Exec bit, and when I copy the perfmeter -g -S -H
etc. to an xterm and run it from there it runs, and Fvwm swallows it
fine, but I can't seem to get it to start when I start (or restart) my
Fvwm

Any ideas gratefully accepted ...

Lee.
